Quote:But by the end of their father's second term as President, Sasha will be 15, and Malia will be 18, and they'll have moved from sleepovers to college applications. At that point, they'll have lived much of their lives in Washington.

Now there will be more milestones in that big White House, including homecomings, proms, learning to drive and first dates.

"I have men with guns that surround them -- often," Obama said, laughing. "And a great incentive for running for re-election is that it means they never get in the car with a boy who had a beer. And that's a pretty good thing!"

So the president admitted he ran for office for the perks, and not to responsibly lead this nation? Nice.

I'm getting so tired of the hypocrisy of the left. Fortunately, I think the NRA did a good job of showing the left how hypocritical they are. If they villify the NRA for wanted armed officers in schools as protection, the criticize their poster-boy. Or they have to admit the NRA has a valid point - that both sides have agreed to in one form or anther.

Here's the link to the LA article. Might wanna copy and paste it somewhere before they get wise and take it down.

Quote:SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) – In light of the Newtown, Connecticut shooting many conversations have started regarding how better to protect students and one of the ideas has been to arm teachers. Here in Utah, educators can already carry firearms into classrooms.

Granite School District Spokesperson Ben Horsley explained, “State law allows a teacher with a concealed carry permit to carry a weapon in our schools.”

Horsley couldn’t comment on how many teachers carry firearms but told ABC 4 News, “I know that they do exist.”

If a teacher has a permit and chooses to carry a weapon onto campus in the Granite School district they have to keep it on them at all times.

“They wouldn’t be able to put it in a desk, secure it or even lock it in that fashion,” said Horsley. “They would have to maintain it on their person.”

More educators in Utah are considering carrying firearms. The tactical gear company OPSGEAR is co-hosting a special course just for educators looking to get their concealed carry permit as well as better learning how to react in an emergency situation.
“Librarians, teachers, janitors, anyone who works at a school,” explained OPSGEAR CEO David Burnell of the upcoming event.

I think Obama's quote, made just last month, about men with guns surrounding his daughters, should be pasted in every news headline around the world.

You know if he was a Republican, they'd have already thrown it back in his face. Yet this one is buried...I only found it doing a Google search to find out how much secret service his daughters had at school.
